Decision

RESOLVED:
 
1.1 That Cabinet approve the direct award for
the provision of the Agency Worker Contract using the ESPO MSTAR4
framework for a period of 12 months to provide sufficient time for
a comprehensive options appraisal of the service to be undertaken
and once the new model has been agreed, the time for a procurement
exercise and implementation of the new contract.
 
1.2 That Cabinet approve the direct award for
the provision of temporary agency worker recruitment services to
the current contractor Comensura Limited using the ESPO MSTAR4
framework for a 12 month period from 13th December 2025 until
December 2026 at a cost of £20m so we can continue with
Comensura whilst future alternative options are evaluated and
progressed.
